Personally, I feel that this doesn't give the common connotation w SIA Girls, "Singapore Girls", any meaning anymore.
In my opinion, I think it is a good move to recruit stewardesses from all over Asia. Singapore is too small. There are some Singaporeans who attempt those interviews again and again, contributing to the same recruitment pool. Doesn't it make more sense to fish from other bigger pools?
Singapore Girl is just a branding and association of a lady in the blue signature Sarong Kebaya with the airlines. The image usually stops there. People wouldn't think 1 step further about whether the "Singapore Girl" is an Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai etc. Hahaha. What it aims to market is the Asian hospitality and femininity, not on the point that the Girl is a Singaporean.
